Having only one single target may still be beneficial if its value for the population is large, as for instance when a single gene can confer resistance to disease. Wikipedia (2020). The occurrence of mosaics and off-target effects can be considered as an increase in mortality, as simulated in this study, assuming that mosaicism and off-target effects are either lethal or that the animals are not used for breeding for ethical or safety reasons. 70, 667–697. PubMed Central Policy 29, 603–625. OECD SME and Entrepreneurship Outlook 2019. 2016;25:273–87. EUR – Scientific and Technical Research Reports. The GS + GE scenarios always resulted in fixation of the desired allele because even if the desired allele was lost due to drift, it was re-introduced by GE. When combined with GE, a sharp decrease in selection response was still observed, but only in generations 1 and 2 (Fig. Here, we made an attempt to compare such values for polledness in cattle using the results in Table 3, for which the impact of different scenarios was evaluated after five generations of breeding. Abstract. PubMed That includes the notion of the family, and what it means to have a ‘designer baby.’. On the efficiency of marker-assisted introgression. After reaching Bulmer equilibrium, the selection objective was to increase the allele frequency of a monogenic trait, with or without genome editing, in addition to improving the polygenic trait. New Phytol. Wageningen University & Research Animal Breeding and Genomics, PO Box 338, 6700 AH, Wageningen, The Netherlands, John W. M. Bastiaansen, Henk Bovenhuis, Martien A. M. Groenen, Hendrik-Jan Megens & Han A. Mulder, You can also search for this author in Such a difference may become bigger in the future, considering that the GMO cases are the result of a pipeline that has been stabilized over many years, while the unfolding of the NBT pipeline has begun much more recently. Even with a realistic number of parents per generation, inbreeding rate was still relatively low for dairy cattle, pig and fish breeding scenarios, ranging from 4.7 to 12.2% in generation 20. FEBS J. If the answer is yes, then I believe germline human genome editing is likely to gain acceptance in time. Models of technology diffusion. Optimization of the change in frequency of the desired allele with selection can reduce the disadvantage of GS scenarios in comparison to GS + GE. Further to this, such traits are present mostly in three crops: maize, soybean and cotton. Until recently, this has only been possible through traditional selective breeding, which is a relatively slow process that accumulates desired alleles over many generations. Figures 2, 3 shows groupings of the cases introduced in Figure 1 according to the developer’s profile. doi: 10.1007/978-3-030-17119-3_2. Biological inputs in vegetable production. Over the course of five generations, our simulated population counted 100,000 new-born animals. For this reason, “NBT product” shall be understood as “non-GMO NBT product” for the remainder of this article. It is not clear that the U.S. needs to react to Dr. He’s announcement with regulation. All scenarios were replicated 50 times. The editing allows for very précised DNA surgery. A DNA polymorphism influencing alpha(1,2)fucosyltransferase activity of the pig FUT1 enzyme determines susceptibility of small intestinal epithelium to Escherichia coli F18 adhesion. doi: 10.1146/annurev-arplant-050718-100049, Cominelli, E., and Tonelli, C. (2010). Figure 1 exhibits the timeline of GMO approvals in Argentina vis a vis the determinations of conventional or GMO status for products obtained using different NBTs. Editing can be guided to any specific location in the genome and could be used to change genes so that they produce a different product or become non-functional genes. (2003). Plant Sci. There’s no question that gene editing technologies are potentially transformative and are the ultimate precision medicine. For this analysis, we have considered gene editing to include techniques encompassed by the terms “site-directed-nuclease” (SDN) of types 1, 2, and 3, as well as “oligonucleotide-directed-mutagenesis” (ODM), according to the definitions by Lusser et al. There is a difference between ‘governance’ and ‘self-governance.’ Where government uses law, the scientific community uses peer review, public censure, promotions, university affiliations, and funding to regulate themselves. Scenarios were compared at generation 5 (Table 3) and generation 20 (Table 4). 10, 6–10. Chen, K., Wang, Y., Zhang, R., Zhang, H., and Gao, C. (2019). Tan W, Carlson DF, Lancto CA, Garbe JR, Webster DA, Hackett PB, et al. Genome edited sheep and cattle. TBV of the offspring in later generations were half the TBV of the sire plus half the TBV of the dam plus a Mendelian sampling effect drawn from a normal distribution N(0, 0.5(1 − 0.5(Fsire + Fdam))). PubMed Central Who would pay for those treatments? Regulatory aspects of gene editing in Argentina. PubMed Jackson, S. S., Sumner, L. E., Garnier, C. H., Basham, C., Sun, L. T., Simone, P. L., et al. Bioeng. (2017). This would be a timely and valuable contribution to technology developers and policy makers in this area, as well as to the academic community working on “science and technology studies” (STS) (Hackett et al., 2008) particularly in the field of innovation economics. Gaspa G, Veerkamp RF, Calus MPL, Windig JJ. Therefore, a scenario with a small breeding program was included that resulted in an average inbreeding level of 31.4% in generation 20. In terms of product concentration, NBTs are typically distributed at 1–2 products per applicant, with only one outlier being an important Argentinean public research institute that holds 23% of applications. Correspondence to A genotype for the monogenic trait was assigned to all founders based on Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium proportions and a frequency for the desired allele of 0.01. GM Crops Food 8, 74–83. Biotechnol. 2016;7:703. Effects of reduced editing efficiency were investigated. Gewin, V. (2003). In this scenario, there was no negative impact on selection response or on inbreeding, so the breakeven cost for applying GE would have been €58.50 per zygote. 2016;38:S4–13. The biotech century. The generation interval could increase if a cloning step is needed, but this can be kept to a minimum if the whole procedure of genotyping, genomic selection, and editing can be done in vitro. NBT (non-GMO) products by developer profiles. Roughly speaking, both product categories can be considered even now in terms of quantity of products arising per year, but if the apparent trends continue, NBTs will be significantly superior by numbers in the near future. Inbreeding was calculated with the pedigree that traced back to the founders in generation -5. Governance of global value chains in response to food safety and certification standards: the case of shrimp from Vietnam. Plant Cell Rep. 39, 163–167.

That does not mean that we’re ready to go into the clinic — we are not. Alternatively, GE could be applied to many loci to simultaneously prove and use the effect of variants [12]. Freeman, C., and Pérez, C. (2003). As a source of codified knowledge, regulations have a direct impact on technology diffusion because they affect the generation of new technologies, as well as decisions on their adoption by potential users (OECD, 1996; Geroski, 2000). Genet Sel Evol. Medicine is at a turning point, on the cusp of major change as disruptive technologies such as gene, RNA, and cell therapies enable scientists to approach diseases in new ways. Livest Sci. Genetic engineering for increasing fungal and bacterial disease resistance in crop plants. Sanchez L, Caballero A, Santiago E. Palliating the impact of fixation of a major gene on the genetic variation of artificially selected polygenes. Without selection on the desired allele (b2 = 0), the inbreeding level was 2.2% in generation 5 (Table 3) and with moderate selection (b2 = 0.5), the inbreeding level in generation 5 was only slightly higher at 2.3 or 2.4%. It is important to note that the situation of a GMO being authorized is comparable with a determination that an NBT product is not a GMO. doi: 10.1080/21645698.2018.1476792, PubMed Abstract | CrossRef Full Text | Google Scholar, Brookes, G., and Barfoot, P. (2018b). This must be considered in perspective with the fact that NBT cases represent only a 3-year period of time, against a 23-year period for several dozens of GMOs. The unnegotiable objective of establishing sanitary and phytosanitary regulations must be safety. Laible G, Wei J, Wagner S. Improving livestock for agriculture—technological progress from random transgenesis to precision genome editing heralds a new era. With an efficiency of 4%, GE may enhance the increase in frequency of the desired allele compared to genomic selection, but increased the reduction in selection response due to reduced selection intensity. Depending on the species, the use of reproductive technology is at different stages of implementation. In one clinical trial, for example, scientists take blood stem cells from a patient, use CRISPR techniques to correct the genetic mutation causing them to produce defective blood cells, then infuse the “corrected” cells back into the patient, where they produce healthy hemoglobin. Reverse breeding: a novel breeding approach based on engineered meiosis. Moreover, by choosing the animals with the highest EBV as targets for GE, as was done in the GS + GE scenarios, the desired allele can actually become favourably correlated with the polygenic trait. Livest Sci. Those include targeting the wrong gene; off-target impacts, in which editing a gene might fix one problem but cause another; and mosaicism, in which only some copies of the gene … Part of That has to be done with great care in terms of ethics.”. 17
Potential of promotion of alleles by genome editing to improve quantitative traits in livestock breeding programs. This index was the same for scenarios with and without GE. If the answer is yes, how can researchers do so responsibly? Benefits of using GE were calculated as the extra offspring that had the desired phenotype due to application of GE. It should be noted that the term “product” in this study is used for referring to cases where a regulatory determination has been made on an organism, and not necessarily refers to products that are actually available on the market. He Jiankui, a Chinese researcher, claimed that he had edited the genes of two human embryos, and that they had been brought to term. PubMed Google Scholar. To mimic this low efficiency, an editing success probability k of 0.20 was combined with a survival probability s of 0.20 in order to have one live edited offspring for every 25 zygotes edited. doi: 10.1111/j.1467-7652.2009.00450.x, Duensing, N., Sprink, T., Parrott, W. A., Fedorova, M., Lema, M. A., Wolt, J. D., et al. This might be expected, though, since cotton is a less-problematic kind of GMO in terms of trade issues and public perception, as it is a cash crop mainly used for obtaining non-edible textile material. Editing these elite animals requires a cloning procedure to produce an edited copy of the selected animals such as somatic cell nuclear transfer [20], unless the same embryo can be genotyped and selected, and subsequently edited before developing into an offspring. Magaz. Enterprises by Business Size. I’m optimistic that this is happening, and has happened. While there are some examples of variants that can be targets for GE, such as those above or the polled locus used here, the number of known targets of interest to breeding schemes is currently limited. (2005). “It could create a disproportionate disease burden where the lower class would be more susceptible,” she points out. 2013;497:17–8. Evolution progresses by random mutations in the genome, which dwarf what can be done artificially with CRISPR. HM, HB and JWMB defined the simulation models. .ñ{©Õ×W/¸Öå×úîoõÛ;)V=¤Å. The next generation of CRISPR–Cas technologies and applications. Due to inbreeding, the selection response for the polygenic trait decreased from an equilibrium response of 1.13 in generation 0, to 1.09 in generation 20 (Fig. A rider in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 — since renewed — would have blocked the very same clinical application of human germline editing He announced, had it been attempted in the U.S. “The scientific community has responded in the way I’d have liked it to. But many scientific leaders are asking: When the benefits are believed to outweigh the risks, and dangers can be avoided, should science consider moving forward with germline genome editing to improve human health? Not surprisingly, the forerunner Argentine regulation has inspired another eight countries in Latin America to enact similar regulations in less than 4 year, and is quite in line with regulatory developments occurring recently in countries from Africa, Asia and Oceania. Only when all the selection emphasis was on the desired allele (b2 = 1000), did GE decrease the long-term additional inbreeding from 1.2% with GS to 0.6% with GS + GE (Table 4). In these simulations, the trade-off between changing the allele frequency of the monogenic trait and the genetic progress for the polygenic trait was not optimized against genetic progress or inbreeding. Introduction of these alleles by GE into domestic pigs was recently reported [37]. However, one of the major technical obstacles for implementation of GE in commercial breeding programs is the limited knowledge regarding the causative mutations that underlie the observed genetic variation. 2004;84:109–16. PubMed Central With b2 = 1000, inbreeding rate was actually lower in GS + GE compared to GS scenarios (Tables 3 and 4). With a cow population of 1 million animals and when evaluating costs and benefits after five generations, the breakeven cost for editing one zygote would be €2925. A breeding population was simulated with discrete generations consisting of 100 male parents and 2000 female parents per generation (Fig. Vienna: R Foundation for Statistical Computing; 2016. “Public policy or ethical discussion that’s divorced from how science is progressing is problematic. Rifkin, J. All foreign MNCs in this study have headquarters in developed countries. BioEssays. JWMB and HM drafted the manuscript. By comparing Figures 8, 9 it can be seen that diversity of organisms is already greater in NBT products than GMOs, grouped in terms of agricultural categories. In contrast, albeit with lesser cases the NBT products are more dispersed among a higher number of crop categories and species. In dairy cattle, the numbers of males and females per generation and the number of offspring per female were 200, 600, and 16, respectively. Even when in vitro reproduction is an established technology, there are a number of technical issues to be solved with GE before large-scale application is feasible. Both editing success rate (k) and editing survival (s) were assumed to be equal to 1.00 for all scenarios presented so far. endobj Therefore, it should be more competitive and more diversified, both in terms of commercialization conditions (cost, license conditions, etc.) In comparison to current breeding programs, the observed rate of … That’s missing.”. A lot of companies are getting venture funding for interesting gene therapies, but they’re all going after tough medical conditions where there is an unmet need — [where] nothing is working — and they’re trying to find gene therapies to cure those diseases. Figure 2 shows that GMOs are deregulated mostly by MNCs, and actually such developers were the only group throughout the first two decades of the regulatory system. If these edited twins are proven healthy, very different discussions will arise. Ethics flipped 180 degrees, from it being a horrifying idea to being unacceptable to prevent parents from having children by this new method. *Correspondence: Martin A. Lema, mlema@unq.edu.ar; mlema@magyp.gob.ar, Front. An increase in inbreeding rate may be observed when adding PAGE to GS in scenarios in which a small number of sires is edited [11]. Schafberg R, Swalve HH. The combination of these effects on supply (technology developers) and demand (potential users of technology) makes regulations a key issue in any country’s strategy for economic development. Rev. The effect of selection on genetic variability. Besides this, the investment of time and money required in order to meet regulatory requirements may be more attainable compared with the option of developing the same traits using GMO technology. Novel gene editing techniques are published and patented every month, and their similarities and/or differences with other NBTs are more difficult to define, for instance with CRISPR-Cas tools adapted to perform epigenetic interventions (Pickar-Oliver and Gersbach, 2019). Such promises were also made for marker-assisted selection, but reality proved more difficult. Genome editing with Cas9 in adult mice corrects a disease mutation and phenotype. Osakabe Y, Osakabe K. Genome editing with engineered nucleases in plants. The desired allele of the monogenic trait was lost due to drift in 14 out of the 950 replicates across all scenarios (1.5%). Figure 4. Rodrigues, J., Inzé, D., Nelissen, H., and Saibo, N. J. The Argentine regulatory system for modern biotechnology applied to agriculture is recognized worldwide for being among the most experienced ones (Vicien and Trigo, 2017). Instead, three very different scenarios were included depending on the relative emphasis that was given to the frequency of the desired allele. Aside from the safety risks, human genome editing poses some hefty ethical questions. The value of b2 = 0.5 was chosen empirically so that the change in frequency of the desired allele followed an intermediate pattern. Therefore, it avoids delaying or discouraging incremental innovations as they appear later on. Echoing those remarks, he said: “It’s time to formulate what a clinical path to translation might look like so that we can talk about it. 2005;37:291–313. made possible by gene editing technologies. changes in the genome at other positions than those intended. This low inbreeding rate in our simulations is probably because contributions of all parents were assumed equal. According to the preliminary evidence presented here, the regulatory approach adopted in Argentina is already stimulating local innovation processes. Probl. (2019). For instance, herbicide tolerance is significantly present for both technological options. As a result, it is now being used in labs around the world and has already been used to fix genetic defects in animals and non-viable human embryos. The possible consequences of that are difficult to predict. EBV = TBV + PE. However, with a currently realistic editing efficiency of 4%, the number of required editing procedures increased by 72% and loss in selection response increased eight-fold compared to 100% efficiency. These numbers were 50, 2000, and 20, and 120, 240 and 40, for pigs and fish, respectively. Developing safe, effective ways to use gene editing to treat people with serious diseases with no known cures has so much potential to relieve suffering that it is hard to see how anyone could be against it. doi: 10.1111/nph.15627. Available online at: https://data.oecd.org/entrepreneur/enterprises-by-business-size.htm (accessed January 07, 2020). He was trying to cure. Recent advances of epigenetics in crop biotechnology. 37, 1403–1408. An editing success probability, k, was applied separately to each allele and was set to 1.00, 0.80, 0.60, 0.40, 0.20 or 0.10 in different scenarios (Table 1). Olga Romanova, Mattea Mrkusic, and Michael Liu talk about their future studies. Annu. In addition to ethical and welfare considerations, a careful assessment of the technical costs and benefits of GE in commercial livestock is required. The advantages of GE are that it does not rely only on variants that segregate in the target population, and, in case of a low allele frequency, it does not depend on the small number of animals in which the variant is found. For example, is a rate of 900,000 deaths from HIV infection per year a greater risk than West Nile virus, or influenza? 2016;34:20–2. (2017). Introducing new alleles or increasing the frequencies of desired alleles does not necessarily require GE. Paper Presented at the OECD Science, Technology and Industry Working Papers. Biotechnol. The use of genomic data can improve the efficiency of removing the donor genome [13,14,15,16] and further increase genetic gain [17, 18], but it has not led to the application of introgression in livestock. In conclusion, the results of this prospective study suggests that gene editing could drive further innovation and “democratization” of agricultural biotechnology, thus leading to increased productivity and economic development, if managed under effective regulatory processes. Plants Agric. Potential pitfalls of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing. Argentina was the first country that enacted regulatory criteria to assess if organisms resulting from new breeding techniques (NBTs) are to be regarded as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or not. Transgenic Res. Truncation selection was applied to choose 100 sires and 2000 dams with the highest EBV from the total population of 20,000 candidates. 2). In other words, the enactment and application of regulations is part of policymaking, where the aim is to establish frameworks for safe and adequate development within the innovation system. Wei J, Wagner S, Lu D, Maclean P, Carlson DF, Fahrenkrug SC, et al. See text for details. Genome editing offers clear benefits compared to alternatives when introducing new alleles or increasing allele frequencies from low values. Although in vitro reproduction techniques are frequently used in cattle, these techniques are much less developed in other major agricultural species such as pigs and chickens. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12711-018-0389-7, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12711-018-0389-7. “There is also commercial potential and that will drive it forward. After all, we have succeeded in keeping ‘nuclear’ inside the bottle. Growth In Food Production and Its Quality: A breeding population was simulated under genomic selection for a polygenic trait. The level of inbreeding increased when emphasis of selection on the desired allele increased (higher b2), but not when GE was added to the scenarios. Nature. Biotechnol., 15 April 2020

There was immediate outcry from scientists across the world, and He was subjected to intense social pressure, including the removal of his affiliations, for having allegedly disregarded ethical norms and his patients’ safety. Bioeng. Hu ZL, Park CA, Wu XL, Reecy JM. The technique allows scientists to tweak the DNA of almost any living being, from bacteria to people. 2016;95:1788–800. J. In contrast, a few GMOs were deregulated by the public sector and SMEs and almost each one is owned by a different company. Adv. MNCs have been sub-divided into those commercializing veterinary vaccines or those dealing with GM crops. 0.25% per generation, mainly because of the large number of parents, in particular, the number of males per generation (100) was larger than that commonly used in livestock breeding programs. For those living in poverty, it is yet another way for the privileged to vault ahead. 3). The monogenic trait was controlled by a single gene with no effect on the polygenic trait, such as the dominant trait polledness in cattle [22, 23] or the recessive trait resistance to Escherichia coli F18 in pigs [25]. Scientists can hop from lab to lab internationally in a way that lawyers cannot because laws are written in many languages and don’t translate easily. Curr. Incorporating desirable genetic characteristics from an inferior into a superior population using genomic selection. While the professors say no one is questioning that life-altering diseases should not be eliminated if possible, there are serious considerations: Which diseases should be targeted for study? Only a small number of causal mutations are known that affect quantitative traits, and also the number of known mutations for monogenic traits is still limited. Combining GE with moderate selection emphasis for the desired allele reduced by about four-fold the number of animals with the undesired phenotype over all generations. With b2 = 0, selection in phase 2 remained the same as in phase 1: genomic selection for the polygenic trait. Genetics. Assuming 100% accuracy and survival allowed an assessment of the potential of the technology. doi: 10.1016/j.copbio.2019.08.007. To increase the food production rates. Ledford H. Salmon approval heralds rethink of transgenic animals. Germline human genome editing, on the other hand, alters the genome of a human embryo at its earliest stages. Genome editing also holds a considerable impact on the field of food improvements. These cases were not considered further for the analyses presented next. 7 0 obj The basic scenario was GS with b2 = 0, where no effort was made to reduce polledness. Genome editing was applied only to families in which the parents carried at least one copy of the undesired allele. Am Nat. Looking at NBTs in Figure 1, circles fully colored in red represent the number of NBT products that have obtained a determination of being non-GMO (i.e., conventional) organisms. Res. To test the impact on inbreeding with smaller population sizes, four species-specific scenarios were evaluated. Strategies to screen for these effects are needed to avoid them going undetected [32,33,34,35]. Quality standards, conventions and the governance of global value chains. But that’s only the start of the questions raised, according to the two professors. Genetic editing can reverse the most fundamental reasons for the body’s natural decline on a cellular level.

Impacto de la Regulación Sobre la Innovación. “There could be situations where it could help a couple, but the risks of something going wrong are real. This procedure could take place in vitro by selecting the best embryos based on their genomic EBV and subsequently using cells from the same embryo to make edited clones. “Are we really going to be able to contain it?” Stapleton wonders. This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). ISAAA (2019).
